Rosie Richards, Beneath the Surface (ANIMAL 2023)

It's amazing the encounters that you can have just beneath the surface of the water here in Australia. In this series of images, a turtle comes up for breath at Lady Elliot Island, a playful fur seal flashes past at Montague Island, and a lonely jelly blubber drifts under a stormy sky in Cabbage Tree Bay.
